<div class="IPBDescription">Any way to stop it other than....</div> Other than PRAYING that one of your scouts see them doing a gorge or mixed gorg/skulk rush and spamming shottys in base?Ive had it done to me and its not pretty...nobody on marines has any clue that they are doing a gorg or gorg/skulk rush until the base is getting infested.Usually the entire team is away,trying to get more res and/or lockdown hives.By then,its too late to give shotguns.GG.Ive thought of getting seiges,but most of the time,they dont do a gorge rush and if they do a gorge/skulk rush with the gorges taking the damage and the skulks killing the marines and seiges before they infest.....

    I usually leave one shotty with the base guard, and if I have competent marines, one shotty with the scouters.

    They've been using the gorge rush on the CoFR server as of late, and it's brutal.

    7-8 people go gorge. 2-3 people stay skulk.
    3 drop Movement Chambers.
    Everyone gets Adrenaline.
    Gorges work their way toward marine start, dropping res and OCs.
    Gorges sit and use heal spray and drop OC's in marine start (sometimes on IPs)

    Since heal spray has such wonderful range and it does damage to enemies while healing your friends. It totally wiped out the entire marine team.

    It only works once or twice before the marines change tactics and shotgun rush or some other such quick game ending strat.

    Why does healspray have to hurt marines? Can't it just be a healing tool for the gorge (still a valuable skill) but not something to stack up and kill marines in 1-2 seconds?

    Early rushes have been and will always be a brutal but fair strategy in every RTS.
    All it kills is an expanding enemy.
    You can block it by some strong defense and counter attacks.

    When you notice 3 shootgun kills in a row DROP DEFENSE chambers.
    When you hear 3 healprays at the same time around the corner DROP A TF and shootguns.

    It does 16, DMG and 16 heal, thats it.
    If you can't kill that gorge before he Heal sprays you to death... I know where your comming from.

    Heal Spray is a last line of Defense.
    It only works about 1 meter in front of the gorge so you need to be right up in a rines face to do it.
    1 SG blast, 1 clip and a bit, a few Knife slashes, is all it takes.
    Never be frade of a Battle Gorge.

    I know that a Gorge Rush is brutal, but it can be stopped, very easily if your prepared!

    Firstly you need to know they are doing a gorge rush first.Oh look at least 75% of your team is away getitng RTs,unfornately your marines in base get overwhelmed even with shotguns.Oh damn marines walk too slowly,by the time they get here base is gone.

    You have to know they are doing a gorge rush to counter it.....

    Problem is figuring out they are doing one in the first place....

    Actually, it has a fairly massive range.

    Recycle base (gorges don't destroy buildings very fast at hive 1) , relocate to their hive (not <i>an other</i> hive else they will go fade and onos using their RFKs , relocate to their starting hive) and drop a TF and shotguns. Since the aliens will be gorges (slow) mostly and aren't likely to be killed inside the gorge gang they will take a while to rally their attacked hive. Hopefully enough time to build a strong turret farm and give enough shotguns... the medspam isn't granted though.
